William H. "Billy" Bass (born May 6, 1941) is a former record executive and radio disc jockey. He had a memorable, if brief, career in Cleveland radio during the late 1960s and early 1970s, including stints at top 40 AM station WIXY ("WIXY 1260") and progressive rock outlet WNCR (99.5 FM), but is arguably best remembered as one of the original staff members of Cleveland rock station WMMS (100.7 FM). Throughout the 1970s and 80s, Bass worked for a number of major American and UK record labels, including RCA, Rocket, United Artists, Chrysalis, and Motown, before serving as Luther Vandross' personal manager. After returning to Cleveland radio in the late 1990s, Bass began work as a photographer, and continues to operate a photography studio in Downtown Cleveland to this day.
